- Summary
- The present volume is a unique collection of essays, which offers a wide-ranging overview about Mongolian Buddhism throughout times, especially about the present situation, a compilation and systematisation of materials following the traditional research trends of the Department of Mongolian and Inner Asian Studies (founded in 1942): the philological methodology and field work. The collection of essays contains philological text analysis and numerous field research-based studies. Equally important is issuing articles based on archival documents that shed light on the history of Buddhism and studies of Buddhism in various countries. The articles share three languages: English, Mongolian and Russian. We find it very important to include articles in Mongolian as these articles contain the emic terminology the scholars work with. We want to make accessible works of scholars from Mongolia and Inner Mongolia where the discipline of Mongolian studies became the leading field of humanities.
